    Jet Airways sends me someone's ticket

    I have no idea why I got this mail from Jet Airways. I looked at the ticket and under 'E-mail' it was someone else. It was not even Gmail. You know the story of the 'dot' in Gmail. So either the customer that booked the ticket gave a secondary mail id and made a mistake. Or, Jet screwed up. I am inclined to believe the latter to be true. Here's a screen grab. I have blurred all private information. WTF is going on? Someone tell me please!

    Youmint.com deletes my account finally

    You signed up for youmint.com. Imported your contacts from gmail or Orkut and sent invites to your friends. Suddenly, your friends start screaming at you 'What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you sending the same youmint invite 10 times!' Shock laga?
    I was stunned too when a few of my friends started mailing me inquiring why I was spamming them.

    So I promptly wrote to all the mail ids listed in their 'contact us' page and asked them to delete my account; there is no option on youmint.com to delete your account. Somebody did call me from youmint and assured me that the spamming will stop. But it didn't. So I lost my patience and blogged about it. And, that post now comes up in the first results page on Google when you search for youmint.com or youmint.

    :-) and their top boss one Mr. Ankush called and spoke to me. Today I received a mail from them saying that my a/c has been deleted. Ankush also promised to add to their FAQ list on 'how to delete my youmint account'

    I'll have to admit that folks at youmint are quite serious about customer care but it'd have been better if only they had paid attention to design. That's another story.

    P.S. youmint.com whois

    Elevator Questions

    1) Why do people press both the up and down buttons of the elevator when they want to go only up?

    2) Why do people stare at the LCD panel that displays the floor numbers as if it is showing the latest blockbuster movie?

    3) Why do people try to jump in even before people disembark?

    [I know why they try to close the elevator as soon as they get in, without thinking about those people behind them... people are **** ****s.]

    A little bit of madness

    I wanted to know what it is to live without money in the city. So, I took bath at Central station, survived on prasadam at Kapaleshwarar temple at Mylapore and slept the night on the pavement of Whites Road at Royapettah. Wanted to do this for two days but gave up after the first day.[...more]

    Wow. How boring this world will be if not for the mad ones?

    Tip to ugly bloggers: Be ugly. But don't fcuking advertise it. Wear helmets when you walk out.

    Request to Indie movie makers: Spare us. Thevidiya pasangaley!

    Request to business school bloggers: shut the fcuk up.

    Request to self: Get a life. Get drunk.

    P.S. Say what? No Mr.Einstein, the title of this post has no fcuking relevance.
